I visit her blog for amusing anecdotes about her children and thoughtful pieces on modern parenting, that don't pander to the "mommy wars" mentality.What I got from reading Double Time was this and more. My twins are a two or three months younger than Jane's, and throughout this book I found myself nodding, laughing, and crying in agreement. She gets so many of the details about twin parenting spot on. Jane's voice is warm and engaging, honest, and never judgmental. She is able to convey what it's really like to be a mother of twins: the joys, frustrations, and the compromises you make as you parent "in double time." Jane also writes frankly about her need to work as well as be a mother (in her case, being a writer), and that piece also resonates strongly with me.Where Jane's experience differs from mine is that, in addition to being a writer and a mother, Jane deals with clinical depression. And while the severity of her symptoms is certainly greater than any experience I have had, I feel that any mother of twins (and probably any parent at all) will recognize some of those peaks and troughs that Jane describes.I think Jane's book is a unique and welcome addition to the genre of books about parenting twins, because of her ability to describe the experience so well. I think it's a book that will also resonate with any new parent, whether or not expecting twins. And I will certainly be giving it to any of my friends who join the twin club. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining and very personal *by K***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2019* This book is a memoir. While it does contain some relevant information for twin mom's, it is by no means a how-to guide for twin parents. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hilarious and theraputic! :-) *by N***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 5, 2015* Highly recommended for any parent of multiples, both mother and father. The writer brings up so many issues, incidents and challenges of finding out and becoming a parent of twins. She covers not only the logistical challenges of juggling multiples but also discusses the thoughts that runs theough all our heads. Her writing is honest, uncensored, humorous and moving. If you has looking for a book that talks about all the wonderful things of being a parent of multiples and how your twins are two little angels.. this book is not for you. If you want one that is realistic.. get it! We are part of a multiples support group and everyone ended up picking up and reading this book. It reminds us we are not alone and we all share the same funny and tragic challenges as well as the same thoughts, no matter how absurd and crazy they are. :-) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4484870-double-time-how-i-survived-and-mostly-thrived-through-first](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4484870-double-time-how-i-survived-and-mostly-thrived-through-first) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
